Donald Morales (HUD spokesman — S01E15)

Donald Morales serves as the public-facing spokesman for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He routinely fields media inquiries, coordinates with White House communications, and acts as the departmental point for crisis follow-ups. In the current episode he reluctantly confirms a politically combustible incident and is designated to handle follow-up questions, revealing a professional posture strained by embarrassment. Morales anchors HUD's press posture, defers to senior White House staff on messaging, and stabilizes optics while operating under tight institutional constraints.
